*Authors Note* Okay so Naruto is a girl in my story. Naruto posed as a boy after being attacked at 3 years old with the help of the Hokage and those close to her. It is explained in this story later on and you will have a better understanding than this little summary. Sorry for the confusion. Enjoy!
In the midst of the 3rd world war Minato Namikaze and his three students Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha were having a team meeting, a binding white light surrounded the four members as the third student by the name of Obito Uchiha ran towards them. All around the village hidden in the leaves doing various things for themselves and the war; Kushina Uzumaki, Tsunade Senju, Mikoto Uchiha, her 6 year old Itachi Uchiha, her 6 year old nephew Shisui Uchiha, Hitomi Hyuga, Naomi Hyuga, Tsume Inuzuka, Chou Akimichi, Izumi Yamanaka, Yoshino Nara, Shizuka Aburame, Hiruzen Sarutobi the Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha, Jiraiya, Hiashi Hyuga, Hizashi Hyuga, Shibi Aburame, Choza Akimichi, Shikaku Nara, and Inoichi Yamanaka all disappeared in blinding white light that no one noticed as time stood still.
From the hidden villages in the five great nations A the Raikage, his brother Killer B a jinchuriki, and Yugito Nii also a Jinchuriki from the land of lightning, the Tsuchikage Onoki, Han a Jinchuriki and Roshi a Jinchuriki from the land of earth, Yagura the Mizukage also a Jinchuriki and Utakata a Jinchuriki from the land of water. Rasa the Kazekage and Karura his wife from the land of wind and Mifune the leader from the land of Iron all disappeared in their own white light as time stood still.
Groaning everyone was waking up as they found themselves sitting on couches already, on one couch was Kakashi, Rin, Obito, Itachi and Shisui. Behind them was Kushina, Minato, Mikoto and Fugaku, beside their couch was Hiruzen, Tsunade, Jiraiya. Hitomi, Hiashi, Naomi and Hizashi sat together. Shibi, Shizuka, Izumi and Inoichi sat together while Shikaku, Yoshino, Choza and Chou sat together. On the opposite side of the room each of the other four nations had their own couch and Mifune had his own lounge chair. "Where are we? Oh thank god you three are okay" Minato exclaimed checking on his students, the three kids were blushing as well as Itachi and Shisui. "Why would they take bring 6 year olds with us" Kushina asked mad at the idea of the children being used.
Everyone began freaking out about where they were except Mifune who just sat there relaxed staring at the chaos around him. As if materializing out of thin air a man with rinnegan eyes, floating in a seated position about 3 feet off the ground and holding a black rod. Hagoromo Otsutsuki stared at the ninja and lone samurai around him, "Enough. You may have noticed that you can not use your chakra here. Everyone of you was summoned for a reason, I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki and I brought you here. I stopped time when you came here, you all are needed for important roles in the future. No fighting, no arguments either. There will be a few more I add later but you won't recognize these people I'm afraid" the man said getting everyone's attention.
"What exactly will we be doing" Shikaku asked his lazy drawl evident as he looks around at everyone. "Before I bring in some more people you will be watching how this 3rd war ends. The entire next part you will be watching is many years after the war that leads to the 4th shinobi war and how it comes to an end. There is a reason for you all to be here, I have to do this for the kid that the next show mainly forms around. You will understand what's wrong when you see it" Hagoromo said nodding at everyone before summoning drinks and food for everyone before turning back to the screen that popped up behind him. Everyone stared at the screen as they all settled in figuring that the man was the real deal since they were all at different places. "Oh and I am only showing you the major parts of this before explaining more at the end. Ugh I've been around Naruto too much" Hagoromo said wrinkling his nose up. Deep laughter from several voices in the shadows mixed together at the sages expense who just blushed in embarrassment.
'Naruto' all the shinobi looked at each other thinking about who this Naruto could be. In everyone's chest except Rasa they all felt this connection to Naruto but a chuckling from the shadows had everyone freeze. "That blonde brat of yours Kura" a high pitched squeaky male voice asked making Rasa freeze against his wife and hold her tighter. "It would seem her life was much harder than the old man would like to admit. I don't even like what the kit has been through and I admit I hated the kit for a long time Shu but what can you do about your first friend. You do know if she doesn't get her way this could all end very badly" a deep male voice said contemplating Naruto's life. The entire room of people were confused 'why would this child's life be that bad? The child was born in a peaceful time. Right' they all asked each other silently.
While pondering in their thoughts the sage stood at the edge of the screen viewing them all through hooded eyelids. 'Good, they are contemplating' he thought to himself while thinking of the blonde child himself. She had originally went around as a male to hide everything from the village, the child was a prodigy that only few knew about. Everyone looked at the screen as the great sage began the show.
(It opens up with Minato sitting on a cliff and Obito approaches him at night)
Obito: Sensei
Minato: What's the matter?
Obito: I know that teamwork is important. But Kakashi always criticizes me about how I lack discipline, so I mean I know that I'm the black sheep of the elite Uchiha Clan And I admit that Kakashi is an awesome guy
Fugaku looks at Obito with wide eyes before resuming his posture, Mikoto looks at Obito sadly as he thinks that he doesn't belong in the clan. Obito burns bright red and groans hiding in the couch as Kakashi looks at him a little differently. All the other adults look at Obito in shock.
Minato: Kakashi is the son of the genius ninja, Sakumo Hatake, feared as the "White Fang" of the Leaf. Even the legendary names of the Leaf's Three Great Ninja paled before his father's. His childhood years were spent under the shadow of such a genius So I guess it can't be helped if, at times, he finds you lacking.
Obito: White Fang That's right I've heard of him too. The hero who died protecting the village. Kakashi never said a word about that
All the Konoha ninja look at the children in shame, they had not stopped Kakashi's father. They should have but they didn't save him or stick up for him when they should have.
Minato: He was a great man Someone respected by everyone in the village, and naturally, by Kakashi himself. That is, until that incident. Perhaps, I shouldn't be telling you something like this But since you're on the same team as Kakashi, I want you to know.
"Sensei" Kakashi explained staring at them wide eyed. He looked down at his hands glaring.
Obito: What happened?
Minato: Kakashi's father, Sakumo, took his own life after being slandered. Five years ago, he was the leader of an extremely difficult mission and infiltrated enemy territory. He was forced to make a choice. The mission or his comrades' lives Of course, according to the rules of the village, completing the mission was the right thing to do. However, in order to save his comrades, he suspended the mission. That resulted in grave losses to the Land of Fire and the village, and he was blamed for it. What's more, the very comrades he saved also criticized him. The whole ordeal took its toll on Sakumo's health, physically and mentally. And finally, he took his life. From then on, Kakashi never uttered a word about his father, and he strictly began to adhere to every rule and regulation. Obito Try to understand, even if it's just a little. Kakashi means well.
Kakashi looks at Minato in disbelief, Obito frowns at the realization of why Kakashi is like that. "Hey don't get mad at me. They are your teammates and deserve to know why you are the way you are" Minato said looking down at Kakashi. Kakashi blushes and refuses to look at anyone "It's an invasion of privacy" Kakashi mumbles. Obito lays his arm behind Rin and rest his hand on the young Hatake's shoulder. Kakashi stiffens and then relaxes knowing that Obito is still there for him.
The other shinobi from various villages looked at the kid in shock. They had all heard of the white fang and his legacy.
Rock Ninja: We're taking this one. (Has Rin in his arms)
Kakashi: What?
Obito: Damn (Starts to chase after the ninja)
Kakashi: Obito! Don't go after them!
Obito: What?! Do you realize what you just said?!
Kakashi: The two of us will continue this mission.
Obito: And Rin? What about Rin?!
Kakashi: Rin comes later. The enemy wants to find out what we're up to. They won't kill her right away. And luckily, Rin is a Medical Ninja. So even if she ends up a prisoner of war, she'll probably be treated cordially On the condition that she treat the wounded on their side. The problem is if the enemy learns about our strategy. If they obtain that information, no doubt, they'll immediately increase the security on the bridge. That will make our mission much more difficult.
Obito: You're assuming Rin's safety under baseless assumptions! What if those guys just now are lackeys who don't give a damn?! Right now, saving Rin takes priority over the mission!
Blushing Rin looks at Obito in a new light. He was willing to do anything to ensure her safety even when Kakashi wasn't. Fugaku looks at Obito carefully, he was willing to risk everything to save his teammate.
Kakashi: A ninja must sacrifice a comrade in order to carry out a mission. That is the rule. If we fail in this mission, it is possible that the war will be prolonged and many more lives will be sacrificed.
Obito: That's just an assumption! And for something like that, you're willing to simply abandon a comrade who's been through life and death with you?! When you and I were wounded, Rin saved our lives with her Medical Ninjutsu! If she hadn't been there, we'd both be dead by now!
The entire room winces as they know how Obito feels but knows Kakashi is right. However in the leaf village teammates are everything, A looks at them concerned along with a much younger B his brother.
Kakashi: That was Rin's duty. (Obito punches Kakashi and knocks him down)
Obito: I don't like you, after all!
Kakashi: I don't care. I'm the captain. You will obey me. Whatever the situation, in order to keep the team together, one person gives the orders. That is why we have the rule that states that members must obey the team captain. Obito, you're not strong. That is why I was chosen as captain of this team. (Obito grabs Kakashi by his backpack and picks him up)
Kakashi sat quietly looking down this isn't how he views his teammates. They with Minato and Kushina were the closest to family the boy has. Minato stared at Kakashi sadly ashamed with the words he chose to use.
Obito: Then why won't you try to save Rin?! As captain, you're strong. Strong enough to save your comrades, right?!
Kakashi: If you give in to your emotions even for a moment and fail your mission, you will regret it later. That is why our code of conduct forbids any emotional feelings. You should know that.
Obito: Rin Rin was concerned about your well-being. That's why she gave you that medkit. She even sewed on a protective amulet inside it!
Kakashi: The medkit and Medical Ninjutsu are superb systems developed by the Hidden Leaf in order to increase the success rate of our missions. But I told you yesterday, didn't I? "Getting something useless would only get in the way."
Obito: Something useless?
Kakashi: To carry out his mission, useful tools are essential to a ninja. Something like emotions are useless.
Obito: Are you serious?! Do you seriously believe that?!
Kakashi: Yeah I do
Obito: Forget it. You and I have been like water and oil from the start. I'm going to rescue Rin!
Kakashi: You don't understand anything! Not about what happens if you break the rules
Obito: I believe that the White Fang was a true hero Sure in the world of ninja, those who break the rules and regulations are regarded as scum But those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum! I'm gonna be trash anyway, so I choose to break the rules. And if that doesn't make me a true ninja Then I'll crush this so-called "ninja"! When I think back, I'm filled with regret. (The two boys are walking away from each other in opposite directions)
Kakashi: I was a cocky brat who had just been promoted to jounin, and every other word I uttered was about rules and regulations. But frankly, I knew nothing about what was truly important. Until that day, when you taught me a valuable lesson.
Minato stared at his two hard headed students, Kakashi and Obito were looking at each other out of the corner of their eyes while ignoring everyone else. Everyone else understood and were watching the two boys who looked like they were having a silent stare off. Rin moved from between the two as they scooted closer shoulders touching, she sat herself between Obito and Itachi. "Do you really think that about him" Kakashi asked confused. "I do. He was your father and I think he sat a great example for us. We're shinobi but we are not heartless Kakashi, I would have gone after you as well if you had been taken" Obito said the two boys never moving as Kakashi took in the information. Minato smiled maybe this wasn't such a bad thing, the two polar opposites were starting to connect finally. The other shinobi smiled, maybe they had been going at this all wrong from the very beginning.
Obito: I found them Calm down I can do this! I'll take care of it. (Slaps his cheeks alerting the ninja)
Ninja: In the meantime, use your genjutsu and get the information from her.
Ninja 2: Camouflage Jutsu
Obito: All right Here I go!
Ninja 2: Go where? (He aims for Obito who is too stunned to move)
Obito: K-Kakashi How come you're?!
Kakashi: Well, I can't leave this up to a crybaby ninja like you, can I?
Obito: Kakashi
Ninja 2: That silver-white hair and White Chakra Blade! Don't tell me you're the "White Fang" of the Leaf?!
Kakashi: This is my father's keepsake. To carry out his mission, useful tools are essential to a ninja. Something like emotions are useless.
Obito: Kakashi you
Ninja 2: I see You're the White Fang's kid Then there's no need to be afraid of you.
Kakashi: I thought so. The scent has been completely erased. We'll have to locate him by the slightest movement and noise he makes.
Obito: Wh-Where is he?
Kakashi: Obito, behind you! (The camouflaged ninja reveals himself and attacks getting Kakashi in the eye)
'That eye is done' Tsunade thinks sadly taking a drink of the sake that appeared.
Obito: Kakashi! Hey Kakashi! Are you all right?!
Ninja 2: Even if he's just a kid, it doesn't hurt to be cautious I'll take it nice and slow.
Kakashi: Our enemy He's good He threw away the kunai knife stained with the smell of my blood. Don't tell me you got dust in your eye again? A ninja shouldn't cry. I'm not dead yet. Stay focused!
Obito: I'm just talk Always being saved by others Just a big-mouthed loser But I believe that the White Fang was a true hero Those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum! I don't want those words to be just empty talk!
Ninja 2: Die!(Obito stabs him instead) Wh-Why? There's no way you can see
Fugaku looked at Obito swelling in proud the boy was getting the Sharingan. Obito looked at the screen kind of excited for his sharingan but not exactly this didn't give him the best feeling.
Kakashi: Obito You!
Ninja 2: Wh-What is that eye?
Obito: This time I'll protect my comrade!
Kakashi: Obito That eye of yours
Obito: Yeah I guess this is the Sharingan. I can now see the movement and flow of chakra. Are you all right, Kakashi?!
Kakashi: Yeah Looks like I lost my left eye, but I have the kit Rin gave me. I can use it for emergency first-aid. We're going to save Rin immediately! (Kakashi pulls out the kit bandaging his eye)
Ninja 1: You're surprisingly stubborn.(Kakashi and Obito and in the room) Hmm. They're all so pathetic.
Obito: The flow of Rin's chakra is disturbed It's different from your chakra or mine.
Kakashi: She's probably under a genjutsu They didn't waste any time trying to get the information out of her.
Ninja 1: It seems they're not mere kids.
Kakashi: We fought him earlier. He's fast Stay alert! (The two of them engaged in battle with the ninja knocking him out and proceeding to Rin)
Kakashi: Release!
Rin: Kakashi Obito!
Obito: We've come to save you, Rin! You'll be all right now.
Kakashi: All right, now let's get out of here!
Ninja 1:I see You two made a good team, but you're still just kids. Right now, you're in enemy hands. Earth Style: Rock Breaker!
Kakashi: This is bad! Run for the exit! (The kids take off out of the cave as the rocks are collapsing in on themselves and Kakashi gets hit by one)
Rin: Kakashi! (Obito runs back and picks up Kakashi sees a rock falling and throws Kakashi out of harm's way)
Everyone is holding their breath waiting to see what was going to happen next. Dread filled Tsunade up as she realized the probability of Obito being crushed.
Ninja 1: Too bad, I lost a good source of information Oh well, it can't be helped.
Obito: Are you all right? Rin? Kakashi? (Obito is stuck under a boulder and Kakashi and Rin are just waking up)
Everyone tenses as they all stare at the screen, "Where the hell am I at" Minato asked pissed at himself as one of his members is dying. "Eliminating the 1000 enemy shinobi at the front lines on your own" Hagoromo said making the entire room stiffen up. Rin was crying into Obito's shoulder who was stiff not sure how to feel. Kakashi was pissed at himself, silent tears were falling down his face. Obito was loud and obnoxious but Obito was his best friend.
Kakashi: Obito! (Kakashi runs to Obito trying to help him)
Obito: Don't It's okay, Kakashi. I don't think I can make it My right side is totally crushed. I can't even feel anything
Kakashi: Dammit!
Rin: No This can't be Why? Obito!
Kakashi: Dammit! Dammit! If If only I had listened to you, and we had come to rescue Rin in the first place This never would've happened! So what if I'm a captain?! So what if I made jounin?!
Everyone looks at Kakashi who has his head bowed silent tears falling from his eyes, Obito had his goggles around his neck leaning on Kakashi.
Obito: Oh yeah I had forgotten I was the only one who didn't give you a gift for becoming a jounin, Kakashi. I was wondering what to give you and I just had a thought.
"Oh Obito. I don't think Kakashi is thinking of that at this moment" Kushina said tears falling from her eyes. She was close with Minato's team and she had taken a liking to Obito along with Kakashi, they were her boy's.
"I don't care about that. Your dying Obito. We may not get along but you're my best friend" Kakashi exclaims waving his arms around before burning his face in his hands and whispering the last part silent tears still falling from his eyes. Minato has clenched fist as he stares at his students. Fugaku looks thoroughly pissed at the passing of Obito while holding a crying Mikoto.
Obito: Don't worry It's not some useless, extra baggage I'm giving you my Sharingan. Whatever the village may say you area great jounin. That's how I really feel So please accept it. Rin Use your Medical Ninjutsu Take the entire eye and transplant my Sharingan into Kakashi's left eye.
Kakashi looks at Obito in disbelief, Obito is avoiding eye contact with everyone. "Obito you don't" Kakashi said trailing off. "Just except it boy. He has higher regards for you than he does any of us Uchiha" Fugaku said sadly nodding at Kakashi. Obito looked shocked at his Uncle but leaned back on Kakashi for moral support.
Rin: Kakashi, come over here I'll start it right away. (She had quit crying and got serious for Obito)
Obito: I'm about to die But I'll become your eye and see the future for you.
Ninja 1: How stubborn You're still alive, huh? But you're just a kid, after all. What's a ninja crying for? Come on, crybaby! Let's settle this. That kid He seems different than before (Kakashi uses the chidori and gets him before he can strike himself because of the sharingan that Obito gave him)
Obito: Kakashi take care of Rin.
Kakashi: Yeah
Obito: Don't panic Rin. Kakashi Take Rin Take Rin and get out of here.
Kakashi: Enemy reinforcements will be coming.
Rin: Obito
Obito: It's okay Just go
Kakashi: Rin!
Enemy ninja: Earth Style! Earthquake Slam!
Kakashi: Rin, hurry, take my hand! Rin!
Rin: Obito!
Obito: Just when Kakashi and I were starting to get along I couldn't tell Rin that I loved her I wish I could've spent more time with everyone.
Blushing red Obito jumps up, "This is an invasion of privacy" he yelled. Kakashi snickered earning a glare, most of the others in the room were laughing as well. Grumbling Obito sat down hiding in the couch. Rin who had been crying grabbed Obito by the arm.
Kakashi: Obito! Damn it! Obito This is the jutsu you helped me perfect!
Enemy Ninja: Hmm You still have the will to fight, even in this situation? No wonder you were able to sneak so deep into enemy territory. You are a determined one.
Kakashi: Rin! I'll hold them off! Get out now!
Rin: But!
Kakashi: I promised Obito I'd look after you I'll protect you with my life!
Rin: Kakashi
Kakashi: Rin Obito cared about you. He loved you You were everything to him. That's why he gave his life to protect you.
"You seriously Bakashi" Obito asked. Kakashi shrugged not having an answer for him, he was still upset that he had lost his best friend.
Rin: Then! Kakashi! You should know my feelings for you I!
Kakashi: I tried to abandon you I'm nothing but scum. (Everything turned black)
